Many of the verses may seem similar to what we’ve learned in Proverbs 1-3, (See Categories in sidebar to read previous posts).

I’ve highlighted a few key verses from this chapter below.

6 (IF YOU) DON’T turn your back on wisdom,

(THEN) for she will protect you

(IF YOU) Love her, and (THEN) she will guard you.

7 Getting wisdom is the wisest thing you can do! And whatever else you do, develop good judgment.

8IF you prize wisdom, (THEN) she will make you great. (IF YOU) Embrace her, and (THEN) she will honor you.

14 DON’T do as the wicked do, and DON’T follow the path of evildoers.15 DON’T even think about it; DON’T go that way. Turn away and keep moving.

18 The way of the righteous is like the first gleam of dawn, which shines ever brighter until the full light of day.19BUT the way of the wicked is like total darkness. They have no idea what they are stumbling over. (They don’t even realize that they are on a destructive path because the path is not lit with knowledge and guidance from God’s Word)

VS.

23 Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life.

26 Mark out (set goals, have a plan) a straight path for your feet;stay on the safe path.27DON’T get sidetracked; (following the latest fads or people’s “great” ideas)keep your feet from following evil.

There is no good reason for us to attempt to “do life” on our own. God loves us and wants us to have a rich and satisfying life – John 10:10

So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most. – Hebrews 4:1
